Voorhees College

Voorhees College is in Denmark, South Carolina, and while it might sound like its located in a whole other country, South Carolina’s Denmark is a small town of just about 3000 people, 600 of which are Voorhees students. With a 26% graduation rate and a 20 year ROI of -$153,400, the $97,000 might not seem so worth it after all.

Paine College

Paine College has an impressive history, including being the alma mater of John Wesley Gilbert, the first African American archaeologist, who graduated in 1886. Unfortunately, in 2016, Paine was de-credited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and though they did find an alternative accreditor, Paine’s graduation rate is still at an abysmal 20%. A four year degree costs $97,500, but the 20 year ROI is -$94,700.
